Cyclists

Oh 'apparently' is it?
The van driver fucked up. People fuck up on the road. It happens to us all, pedestrians, cyclists, drivers. Also it's much more dangerous when a driver fucks up because of the heavy vehicle.
I also know that when you fuck up like that the instinct is to get out of the fuck up ie reverse as quickly as possible.
It's clear he had to reverse but still the cyclist put himself in a position behind the van.
Aka compounding an already dangerous position.
The only logical reason I can see as a cyclist is for likes and drama on YouTube.
If he had backed into a car, not a single person would be blaming the car driver.

'Ive got you on a technicality'
:lol!:
He was in fact travelling at 1mph when he went through a narrow gap left by the van that had gone the wrong way and proceeded to move 'very slowly' in the vans blind spot.
Technicality = what actually happened, he didn't stop.

If he had backed into a car that had driven into the narrow space left by a van turning the wrong way down a bike lane and then gone really slowly?
Yeah that would be real logical and safe driving.
:lol!:


Just went really really slowly aka practically stopped into a gap at the back of a van after starting to go the wrong way up a street.
What could possibly go wrong?
You supposedly have driven a van and cycled a bike yet you don't see anything dangerous in his behaviour?
Of course you see it's dangerous, so why defend the actions?
Of course you refuse to accept that because you're a fervent follower of all these militant cyclists
 
I don't see what Vine did as fundamentally that bad, the van driver was just abysmal, no awareness of his surroundings whatsoever.
I know from driving a van that i have to be extra cautious backing up, because i don't have good rear visibility. Need to check, check and check again where you're going. That guy wasn't cautious.
 
Stopped at Dennehys Cross earlier going from Rondezvous direction to UCC. I was second car at the lights when they turned green. Just taking off and the fella in front of me jammed on the brakes.

2 cyclists coming from UCC direction turned right towards Victoria Cross. No lights on the bikes, no helmet and no hi vis. Fair play to your man for reacting quickly. Absolute madness.

I'd be the same as that, but mostly weekends anyway, not a commute, usually I've only delayed an enraged person by ten second on their important trip to buy life support for their dying wife and kids in the petrol station....!!!!
